Wow, I can run for 3 whole minutes without stopping!!!! I honestly didn't think that would ever happen!!! Feeling quite proud. Lol. I struggled with the first 90 second run, then got into a better pace and was amazed when 2 mins was up and she said you've got just 1 minute to go... I thought "yes I can do this". I'm amazed!! 60 seconds was so hard at the start of this challenge now I can do 3 minutes. Yaaaaay!!!!

It’s a great feeling isn’t it. In my first 3 minute run I was grinning like a total idiot... so much so if having a passer by asked me “are you ok love” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Enjoy the feeling that I’m sure will last all day and good luck with your next run!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
